I’m a lover of sports in general – if it’s on, I’ll likely watch it. But nothing compares to hockey and Montreal Canadiens. I’ve lived most of my life on the west coast, which presents some challenges as a Habs fan, but it’s never been so easy to follow my favourite club as it is these days. In Vancouver I work as an Editorial Assistant at a local travel magazine and do a lot of volunteering at local museums. My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in History, training as technical writer and work in hospitality. I’m also an avid traveler myself and have significant spent time in Europe, South and Central America and Asia. My favourite spots? Spain, Vietnam, Belize…the list goes on.

After a torrid start that found the Habs among the league’s top teams, the group came back to earth in November, but optimism remains with Weber’s return! What players made the biggest impact in November?

If the Canadiens are hoping to shore up their blue line with the third overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, the odds are they would target a left shot, puck-moving defenceman, and there is a player that fits the bill perfectly in American Quinn Hughes.

With the third overall pick in the draft, the Habs will have plenty of options and there is a definite lack of consensus regarding the direction they will go. Czech winger Filip Zadina is one of the most intriguing options and is an elite, dynamic scoring winger.
